Tracking Mobile Robot in Indoor Wireless Sensor Networks

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://10.1155/2014/837050 This work addresses the problem of tracking mobile robots in indoor wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Our approach is based on a localization scheme with RSSI (received signal strength indication) which is used widely in WSN. The developed tracking system is designed for continuous estimation of the robot's trajectory. A WSN, which is composed of many very simple and cheap wireless sensor nodes, is deployed at a specific region of interest. The wireless sensor nodes collect RSSI information sent by mobile robots. A range-based data fusion sche…

User-cell association in heterogenous small cell networks: A context-aware approach

Deploying small cells to complement the traditional cellular networks is foreseen as a major feature of the next generation of wireless networks. In this paper, a novel approach for addressing the cell association problem in heterogenous small cell networks is proposed. The presented approach exploits different types of information extracted from the user devices and environment to improve the way in which users are assigned to their serving small cell base stations (SBSs). We formulate the problem within the framework of matching theory, where the players, namely the users and SBSs, have interdependent preferences over the members of the opposite set. We also utilize the fuzzy synthetic ev…

Nickel(II) complexes with sterically hindered 5,6,7-trihydroquinoline derivatives selectively dimerizing ethylene to 1-butene

A series of nickel complexes bearing N,N-bidentate ligands has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. High ethylene dimerization activity, reaching 2.43 × 106 g mol−1(Ni)h−1, was achieved by using these complexes as precatalysts activated with Me2AlCl. Moreover, the selectivity to obtain α-C4 was high (93%–96%). Comparing with the previous report by our group, the higher activity and selectivity may be attributed to the substituent at the 2-position within the ligand, creating the steric hindrance around the metal atom.
